The following describes the data files, code and programs used to evaluate the Chicago Area Study and the aggregate Police Beat data presented in the manuscript "The Civic Voluntarism of "Custodial Citizens": Involuntary Criminal Justice Contact, Associational Life, and Political Participation."

We have provided nine files. They are:

1) cas_code.pdf
2) cas_chimet.dta
3) cas_clean.do
4) cas_in-text.R
5) cas_appendix.R
6) beat_counts.dta
7) beat_clean.do
8) beat_in-text.R
9) beat_appendix.R

The file "cas_code.pfd" is the codebook for the individual level Chicago Area Study (CAS). The file "cas_chimet.dta" is the raw Chicago Area Study dataset. The file "cas_clean.do" is used to clean the data and recode relevant variables in preparation for the analysis. Data management was performed in Stata. The analsis was carried out in R. 

The file "cas_in-text.R" contains the R code necessary to carry out the analysis of the CAS presented in the text. The file is annotated to denote which tables/figures each piece of code creates. Figure 1 of the body of the text creates a coefficient plot for a series of dependent variables. The underlying regression tables are found in the Appendix, but are executed in "cas_in-text.R." All other supplemental analysis is executed by code found in the file "cas_appendix.R." 


The file "beat_counts.dta" is the stata file of the raw, aggregate Police Beat data. The file "beat_clean.do" is used to recode relevant variables in preparation for analysis. The file "beat_in-text.R" contains the R code necessary to carry out the analysis of the police beat data presented in the text. The file is annotated to denote which tables/figures each piece of code creates. The file "beat_appendix.R" contains the code necessary to execute the supplementaly analysis of the police beat data presented in the Appendix. 

All necessary packages are included at the top of each R file, or are called prior to their usage.
